Question
(a) If the switch is thrown to the left (connecting the battery), how much time elapses before the current reaches 220 mA?
ms
(b) What is the current in the inductor 10.0 s after the switch is closed?
A
(c) Now the switch is quickly thrown from a to b. How much time elapses before the current falls to 160 mA?
ms
Explanation / Answer
Switch thrown to left
At steady state inductor will acts like short circuit
Steady state current =Max curent = 6/4.5 = 4/3
time constant fo charging =L/R = 140 X 10^-3 / 4.5 =0.031
I= Imax (1-e^(-t/timeconstant) Imax =4/3
Putting I =220 mA t = 5.59 miliseconds
Current after 10 seconds
Put 10 seconds in I= Imax (1-e^(-t/timeconstant) Imax =4/3
I = 4/3 =1.33 Ampere
c
Switch put to b side
Current thriugh will not change instatneously
Inductor will discharge
I = Imax e^(-t/time constant)
0.16 = 3/4 e^(-t/0.031)
t=47.8 miliseconds
